Re: Visa Grant ----> Got it!
Hi Blueracer, have been thinking of you, we're so on the edge waiting for our pr visa to come through. It feels like it's never going to happen and we're so downhearted 
. It just seems that we're never going to get there. We haven't sold our house (we're having to put a new kitchen which is costing loads and have now got a gas leak so no kitchen and no hot water and with two kids under three I'm not having a very good time! I'm so pleased for swotsmart, honestly and truly, but I can't take this waiting! I hope you're faring a little better. Am so sick of waking up at six am and running downstairs to check emails argh!!! why is it taking SO LONG!!!!! am so cracking up!!! necer mind, off to watch the new series of Spooks! and to open a box of wine!

I imagine that by Jan'07 we should be all out there as the kids will have to be in school in February.
Things are getting a wee bit scary at the moment
Take care...
